Finding a family medical physician
Currently, many family physicians in the region are not accepting new patients. Often, family doctors have connections outside their practice care. You may request that your current family doctor provide a referral for you and your family to a local family doctor. You may search online for information on which physicians are accepting new patients on the following websites:
- Health Care Connect - Province of Ontario
- Greater Kitchener-Waterloo Chamber of Commerce
- Search for a dentist in Ontario
